Your Movie has a power zoom lens that gently changes the viewing
angle. Zooming is possible by lightly pressing the "T" or "W" side of
the POWER ZOOM Switch. You can also manually zoom with the
zoom ring which has a handy lever for steady turning .
This switch may be used to record a clear, sharp image of high speed
motion with your Movie for fine point replay in still mode, or slow mode
when watching the tape on a Panasonic TECH 3 or TECH 4 VCR (3
or 4 head VCR). Slide switch to the right to activate while recording.
Slide repeatedly to obtain one of three speeds 1/1000th, 1/500th or
1/250th. A still or slow motion playback will then depict images without
trails or blurs (eg. like a tennis stroke). Extremely fast moving objects
should be recorded with the fastest shutter speed (1/1 OOOsec) , while
the 1/500 and 1/250sec speeds should be used for slower subjects
moving which may still be fast enough to cause blurs due to high
speed movements.
The High Speed Shutter indicator flashes when the light level might
be inadequate. More light should be provided to achieve better picture
quality and color.
This function allows you to monitor the last few seconds of recorded
material on the viewfinder screen or monitor screen by pressing the
RECORD REVIEW Button while your Movie is in Record/Pause mode.
When playback is finished, your Movie will return to Record/Pause
mode automatically, and the next segment will be recorded in
synchronization with the last segment recorded.
This button may be used to adjust the light level on a recording subject
that is darker than the surrounding scene.
You will find this backlight adjustment useful for recording a subject in
a shadowed area or in front of strong backlight.
Press the BACKLIGHT Button while recording a high contrast scene,
then release it if the lighting condition changes.
